618-5ZZ Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearing | 5×11×3 mm for Micro-Robotics & Precision Encoders

618-5ZZ Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearing | 5×11×3 mm for Micro-Robotics & Precision Encoders

The 618-5ZZ is an ultra-small, precision-engineered ball bearing designed for micro-mechanical assemblies where space is at an absolute premium. Equipped with dual-sided metal shields (ZZ), this bearing is optimized for high-frequency rotation by maintaining internal lubricant integrity while minimizing parasitic drag. With a 5mm bore and a compact 11mm outer diameter, the 618-5ZZ provides the essential stability required for micro-servos, high-speed cooling fans, and sensitive medical sensors that demand nearly silent, low-vibration performance.

618-5ZZ Deep Groove Ball Bearing 5x11x3 mm | Metric 618 Series | Double Steel Shielded

Crafted to exceed standard industrial tolerances, the 618-5ZZ utilizes a slim-profile architecture to provide reliable radial support within a microscopic footprint. Its non-contact metal shields are specifically engineered to block fine dust and debris without adding the frictional heat common in contact-sealed bearings. This makes it a premier selection for precision-driven applications where efficiency is vital and thermal expansion must be mitigated, such as in high-end optical sensors and aerospace instrumentation.

Key Performance Features

01. Ultra-Compact Metric Profile

With a cross-section of only 3mm width, the 618-5ZZ enables engineers to achieve extreme miniaturization. Despite its tiny size, the deep-groove raceway is precision-ground to handle both radial loads and moderate axial loads, offering a superior power-to-weight ratio for portable electronics and aerospace tech.

02. Low-Inertia High-Speed Capability

The 618-5ZZ is designed with lightweight internal components and non-contact steel shields, resulting in exceptionally low startup torque. This low-inertia design allows the bearing to reach peak RPM quickly and efficiently, making it ideal for battery-powered devices where energy conservation and heat management are top priorities.

03. Advanced GCr15 Material Science

Constructed from high-purity GCr15 chrome steel, our 618-5ZZ bearings undergo a specialized vacuum-degassing process and heat treatment. This results in a hardened structure that resists wear and plastic deformation under high-frequency use. Each unit arrives pre-filled with high-grade synthetic grease, ensuring "plug-and-play" reliability.
